Bananas

Today I went to Costco where I purchased diapers (turns out I still had a whole bunch) and, roughly, 60 bananas. As I pushed my bananas, my diapers, and my toddler through the store I wondered if anyone would raise an eyebrow in the checkout line. I thought of different replies should I be humorously questioned about my odd purchase.

-We own stock in Dole.

- We're on a strict, bananas only diet.

- We just got a monkey.

- (Points to Garrett) We have 59 others where this one came from.

As we exited the warehouse and had our receipt marked the woman glanced at my son, who was sitting in the cart guarding the fruit. "Do you have lots of nanas?" She questioned in his direction. He just smiled and I fought the urge to give her one of my lines.

As we cruised across the parking lot, a woman gave a glance into the cart and she looked surprised. I waited until she was a few feet in front of us and I just couldn't help myself. I looked at Garrett and said, "Your monkey is going to be very happy when we get home."

So are you curious as to why we needed so much fruit or do you regularly purchase 60 bananas?

You wouldnt believe the answers I came up with for that question...I think I am going to say, You probably have to bake something for a large number of folks at the church.....so when will we find out the answer...Hope all is well, my deepest apologies for your grandma. See ya lady:)
